We need the 2 points no matter who we take them from! But i agree it would be the biggest shock in rugby league to happen all year! Come on!

I actually think Anderson will rest any player carrying a knock. Saints have a substantial lead in SL, Anderson has already rested players this season and constantly criticised the number of fixtures and finally, Saints have very bad memories of what happened last year re; injuries.
I have read somewhere that Roby will not be fit either. No bad thing.

The pratt who we all know as Sean long stated in an interview a couple of days ago that this St helens team is the best he's ever played in, He also said that they had so much strength in depth, So there should not be a problem for the Stains regardless of how many players they rest, (cocky git) If thats the case then what happened at Huddersfield ?, They rested a few there and look what happened, Lets not forget this is the best local derby in superleague and anything can happen, Come on the lads!

Ours has't been anounced yet, but according to the Saints offical site, Long IS in the 20 man squad, but that has to be narrowed to 18 before Saturday, and Long could be the one to drop out.
